2.5 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20 nick76 (3461) - Tampa, Florida, USA - AUG 5, 2008
The aroma is yeasty and funky with a wild yeast character. It’s also sweet. The appearance is golden with a huge head that doesn’t stop. The flavor is like the aroma. The palate is thin. Overall an interesting but overpriced beer.
4.5 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 10/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20 RollinHard (951) - Fort Worth, Texas, USA - AUG 4, 2008
This beer absolutely made my day, thanks to mcbackus. Deep orange tan pour, with a big fluffy white head that dies down to a moderate film over time. Aroma is all over the map; apples, caramel, toffee, cloves, hay, a slight slight bit of worchester (sp?) sauce, and green grapes. The focus of the aroma is different every sniff. Big sweet taste at first of caramel, brown sugar, tons of grass, cloves, cinnemon, a slight salty wood taste, and oaky like a chardonnay (or something like that). Warming finish with a slight toffee and wood flavor but it’s all surprisingly clean in the end. Highly carbonated mouthfeel but it’s huge beer at heart and you can sense the thick, nearly sticky malt in every tingling sip. Just huge in flavor. I thought this beer was just amazing, but I can see why others might not like it. Think it’s too sweet? Pair it was chocolate chip cookies, and the combo will work wonders for the beer and bring out more fruit qualities (while also cutting the cookie taste a bit). Awesome awesome stuff.
